Could you post a video showing what this does? It looks really neat, but I don't want to download VCE for just this. Or, maybe I should learn how to use it...

Sure, I'm just trying to get the ROM creation guide done. My time management is off these days. :c

How to make ROMs, full developers guide

Explains how to manipulate the screen, get keyboard input, what certain hardware does, reveals useful variables, and includes tips, diagrams, and more. Crucial for ROM development to extend software ability.

Using the Icecube A2 BLPC build for practical reasons

Here I am talking to a small group in a meeting room at the MicroBlock Headquarters, The Slate Building. I demonstrate the Graph Mapper and how it can be used to build simplistic bar graphs to display data.

As you can see, I am standing by the projector at the back. To the front of the picture you can see the Indigo Icecube (rev 1.2) projecting its graph software.

Wll be making software now.

Sheath · September 17, 2011, 12:13:16 AM

Brilliant! If you have any questions about development not covered in the guide (should there be any) just ask.

Eeposs · September 17, 2011, 12:33:55 AM

You should try to give a few examples on how things work with this.

I'm in the process of making a new piece of hardware with a software driver that might be good to look at. c:

I'll have it here soon when its done.

Sounds good. for now ill be messing around with it. And how many ROM slots are their?

Sheath · September 17, 2011, 03:06:50 AM

A single slot.

Sorry I keep releasing updates but I've found yet another problem with the system. I didn't add a variable to check if D is pressed which is quite important for custom ROMs. I will need to address this ASAP.

This will also require an amendment to the PDF guide. Sorry about this all.

Yet another revision, 1.3. Sorry for so many revisions.

Quote

- Added D key checking (you can now detect variable dhit to see if the desktop button is pressed, great for creating quitting events for your device.
- Stopped users clicking on default software during use of CD software to prevent complications
- Delayed key checking to 5 seconds to prevent any slip ups when checking input

Multipack of rev 1.3 model's coming soon!
